Compact, chain-free one-bed near town and station — ideal first buy or rental.
Vacant possession and no onward chain
This compact one-bedroom flat in Letchworth Garden City offers a low-cost, entry-level purchase close to the town centre and train station. The 360 sq ft layout is efficient, with an open-plan kitchen/living area and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes — a straightforward home for a single occupant or a sensible buy-to-let. The property is sold with vacant possession and no onward chain, allowing a quick completion.
Practical running costs are a clear benefit: a 154-year lease, zero ground rent and a modest service charge of £1,060 per year. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing bills low. Allocated off-street parking, a secure communal entry system and communal gardens add convenience and curb appeal for residents or tenants.
Buyers should note the apartment’s compact size and some cosmetic age in the kitchen and fittings, which will suit those comfortable with modest room proportions or looking to modernise. Heating is via electric storage heaters — adequate but typically more expensive than gas alternatives and potentially needing upgrade in future.
Overall this flat represents an affordable, low-maintenance entry onto the property ladder or a straightforward rental opportunity in a very affordable, well-connected part of Letchworth. Expect cosmetic updates to make the most of the space and energy-efficiency improvements if long-term running costs are a priority.
